Subject:  Renewal Roommate Groups Cannot Contain Non-Renewers: Renewal Roommate Manager Open until 4/19 at 5pm

Updated 4-19-21

Hello,

You are receiving this message for a Renewal Roommate Manager update – action may be needed if you are in a group.

  1. We discovered some of our Roommate Manager logic failed, allowing a few of you to select NON-Renewer roommates
  2. We do not allow anyone in mixed groups this time of year due to:
    1. Room Selection rules
    2. Space in the Renewal Room Selection Lottery Pool (only Renewers are allowed in the lottery)

Moving forward - first:

  • We will delete any Renewer groups who have a NON-Renewer in their group
  • Check your Housing Dashboard if you are unsure of the Housing status of your roommate – your group shows there
  • If you want to be in a mixed group please email Housing@wwu.edu to request each other – it can be done by us when the time for that opens
  • We keep these requests until applicants have paid their Housing Deposit and then we create your group for you

 

Moving forward - second:

  • Roommate Manager is now open again, starting today at 5 p.m and closing on Monday, April 19 at 5 p.m.
  • This will give those of you who were in mixed groups a few days to select a Renewer as a roommate or re-select a Renewer you were with, but without the NON-Renewer who was in your group
  • You may decide to stay alone and participate as a single as well

 

If You Need Assistance:

Some of you may need help on Monday. We are here and will be happy to help you. Please reach out to either Kaimi.deardorff@wwu.edu or Karen.walker@wwu.edu with any questions.

 

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation.

 

Sincerely,

The Assignments Team
